I ran -Xrunhprof options:
  -Xrunhprof:heap=dump
  -Xrunhprof:heap=all
  -Xrunhprof:cpu=times
  -Xrunhprof:cpu=samples

with a few benchmark programs(totally 3 programs) against jdk1.4 b74, only -Xrunhprof:cpu=samples worked ok for all programs, the other three either
crashed jvm or got the run to hang(and ignored cltr-C signal).

To reproduce:

% jdk1.4/bin/java -Xrunhprof:heap=all -cp jmol-0.2/jars/jmol.jar -Djmol.home=jmol-0.2 jmol.Jmol

the run would hang there.

to run the other two programs, under the same directory:

% jdk1.4/bin/java -cp TeaTimeJ/teatime.jar mm.project.teatime

% cd mailpuccino
% jdk1.4/bin/java -cp mailpuccino.jar Mailpuccino


jdk1.3.1 seemed to work file with all these.

-Xrunhprof:cpu=times dumps core in jdk1.4beta2.

-Xrunhprof:cpu=old dumps core in jdk1.4beta2.

-Xrunhprof:monitor=y sometimes dumps core (more often than in
 jdk1.2 and jdk1.3 (I wonder what happened to that bug report)).

-Xrunhprof:cpu=samples seems to work.
